The way cars race up to the zebra crossing in SF is wild. I see the painted line a couple metres back from the crossing, but that seems to be a mere suggestion.

When people are interested in learning about how to train agents to communicate (emergent communication), I always recommend this paper as a first read: dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/...

Chiming into the conversation on peer-review. I think this is a good point that we need to take seriously. Science denialism has gotten a huge boost recently and many grifters benefit from well-meaning debates that they can twist into anti-intellectual narratives.
I have seen some anti-peer-review takes on here, and, believe me, I understand the frustrations, but I would urge caution before doing or publicly saying anything too drastic. We live in age rife with misinformation and anti-intellectualism—not everyone wants academia to survive

is totally fascinating in that it postulates two underlying, measurable structures that you can use to assess if RL will be easy or hard in an environment
